On February 8, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of HP Inc. (“HP”) elected Aida Alvarez, former administrator of the Small Business Administration and current board member of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. to serve as a director of HP, effective on February 8, 2016.

 

Ms. Alvarez will receive compensation for service as a non-employee director of HP consistent with the compensation generally provided to other HP non-employee directors, as determined by the Board from time to time.  Currently, HP non-employee directors generally receive, among other things (i) an annual cash retainer of $100,000, which directors may elect to receive in the form of HP securities, and an annual equity retainer of $175,000 paid at each director’s election either in the form of restricted stock units or in equal amounts of restricted stock units and stock options; (ii) $2,000 in cash for each Board meeting attended in excess of ten per year; and (iii) $2,000 in cash for each Board committee meeting attended in excess of ten meetings per committee per year. Ms. Alvarez also will be eligible to participate in the product matching portion of the HP Employee Giving Program under which each non-employee director may contribute up to $100,000 worth of HP products each year to a qualified charity by paying 25% of the list price of those products, with HP contributing the remaining cost.  For her first partial year of Board service, Ms. Alvarez’s annual cash retainer will be pro-rated and paid in the form of cash and Ms. Alvarez’s annual equity retainer will be pro-rated and paid in the form of restricted stock units.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Alvarez and any other persons pursuant to which she was selected as a director. Additionally, there are no transactions involving HP and Ms. Alvarez that HP would be required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Ms. Alvarez has not yet been named to any committee of the Board.
